holy flying butter, batman!

so, it's been a while

...and here I am saying goodbye to one heck of a year. This has probably been one of the biggest years of my life... so much has happened and begun and changed and... everything!

In 2007 I:
-Graduated from High School in one of the best ceremonies EVER with the coolest group EVER
-Performed in a musical for the first time
-Got to play one of my dream roles
-Finally got to dance onstage
-Saw Wicked
-Moved away and was out on my own for the first time
-Said goodbye to some of the best people in the world
-Met some of the best people in the world
-Traveled to states I had never been to before
-Learned to knit
-Saw the most beautiful bride in history in the wedding that I was a Bridesmaid in and became a Brother-in-law through
-Cried
-Laughed
-Discovered my inner hippie
-Got a job on my own
-Witnessed my first ice storm in Texas!
-Found my twin!
-Fessed up to some things
-Discovered my love for photography and rediscovered my love for musical theatre!
-Went airborn in my thunderbird! (only for a little bit)
-Realized how ignorant I am about a LOT of stuff and how I need to think more
-Visted New Orleans
-Realized how deprived our nation is spiritually
-Was introduced to the Winnie-the-Pooh books and Chai Tea
-Discovered/was introduced to the phenomenons that are Breaking Benjamin, Lena Horne, Peggy Lee, A. A. Milne, and Donald Miller
-learned a LOT

I know that these past several months I haven't kept up or in touch with people that mean a lot to me, and I regret that. I want to put forth a bigger effort to do that this next year. God has blessed me so, so immensly with and through the relationships that I have- both old and new. I'm truly humbled at the fact that I can call you my friends.
I'm realizing more and more that I am nowhere close to where I should be spiritually. God has taught me so, so much this last year and blessed me in more ways than I can even see, but I realize that I havent put forth the effort to be the person He would have me be or know Him like I should. What gets me is that even though I act like anything BUT a child of God, He hasn't given up on me. By this time next year, I would love to be able to say that I am truly walking with God.Glory be to God in the highest.

"Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And You take my breath away
Would You take me in
Would You take me deeper, now

And how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would You tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
Everything, everything...

When how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
Would you tell me how could it be Any better than this
Would You tell me how could it be Any better than this...."
